THE SING OFF's Home Free to Play Aurora's Paramount Theatre, 10/19

You'll recognize Home Free from winning NBC-TV's 2013 The Sing-Off. But it's their unique ability to sing Nashville standards as well as pop hits with a country twist, and all in a cappella style that has really won over audiences. Combine that with their fun, warm, high-energy live performances, and you've got an evening that can only be described as "must-see."

So mark your calendar for Sunday, October 19, when Home Free brings its national Crazy Life Tour to the Chicago area, one-night-only at the Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena Blvd. in downtown Aurora. The concert begins at 5 p.m. Tickets are $35 and $40. For tickets and information, visit ParamountAurora.com, call (630) 896-6666, or purchase in person at the Paramount Theatre box office, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

When country a cappella band Home Free was crowned Season 4 Champions of NBC's The Sing-Off last December, their victory was by no means the beginnings of a career for the five country stars from Minnesota. Rather it was a satisfying culmination of nearly a decade of hard work and commitment to a vocal craft growing in popularity.

Founded by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp during their college years in the early 2000s, Home Free had been perfecting their live show for years prior to The Sing-Off - performing together for crowds in countless state and county fairs, on college campuses, in Fortune 500 companies, and in theaters all across the country. It was their experience on the road that carried them to a Sing-Off victory, swelling their fan base and bringing their homegrown country style into a national spotlight.

Home Free continues to entertain audiences with their high-energy show peppered with quick-witted humor that meshes Nashville standards with pop hits dipped in country flavor. Last spring they continued their journey with a 32-city, 36-show Sing-Off Tour Live! on the heals of their Columbia Records debut release, Crazy Life, followed by another busy summer festival circuit before launching their current fall Crazy Life Tour.
